Physical and network security operations are dynamic. Security professionals succeed through planning, preparation, adapting, and taking action in response to unexpected challenges. This comprehensive management program--the second in a four-part series--teaches you where to start and how to prepare your program for handling these challenges. Break it down: justifying and getting funding is often the first step. Once funds are obtained, the challenge becomes building, operating, and managing a comprehensive program. Be prepared to respond when your CSO asks you to justify your operation, manage risk, and juggle the demands of keeping current. Collaborate with seasoned practitioners, benefit from their successes and failures, and learn about techniques and metrics that can maximize your program's effectiveness and move it to the next level.
